Rockingham is one of Western Australia’s most active coastal communities.
It is a unique blend of defence families from HMAS Stirling, a booming construction sector, and a thriving healthcare workforce.
Between the busy Shoalwater Marine Park and the industrial corridors near Kwinana, Rockingham life is fast-paced and outdoorsy.
This unique environment brings specific risks that require more than just a response.
"In an emergency, confidence comes from practice, not panic." - Britt Brennan, REACHAU
Whether you are a tradie on a high-risk site or a parent at the beach, you need the confidence to act fast when an emergency occurs.
Coastal and Marine Safety: Our proximity to the water increases the local risk for drowning, boating accidents, and marine stings.
Defense and Military Community: With a high population of Navy personnel and families, maintaining current certifications is vital for career and community safety.
Rapid Urban Growth: A high concentration of construction and trade businesses means worksite trauma and injury management are top priorities.
Healthcare Hub: As the largest employer in the region, Rockingham’s healthcare workers require high-level, compliant certifications.
From WWII History to Modern Marine Hazards
What many people do not realise is that parts of Rockingham carry a unique historical risk profile.
During World War II and the years following, coastal and sand dune areas were used for military training and artillery practice.
Historical records show a documented history of unexploded military ordnance (UXO) in the region.
While the area is safe for daily life, it highlights the importance of risk awareness.
Coupled with local marine hazards like the blue-ringed octopus, Rockingham residents benefit from first aid training that is tailored to their actual environment.
"Knowing your environment is the first step in effective first aid." - REACHAU Team
UXO Awareness: Understanding why historical records matter for those working in coastal land development or excavation.
Marine Venom Response: Immediate, life-saving first aid for blue-ringed octopus bites, including pressure immobilisation and CPR.
Trauma Management: Scenario-based training for incidents in isolated coastal or bushland areas where ambulance response times may vary.
Calm Decision Making: Training that focuses on the "why" behind every skill so you can stay composed in high-pressure situations.
Construction accounts for nearly a quarter of all registered businesses in Rockingham, while healthcare and social assistance is the city’s largest employer.
These industries have very different first aid needs.
For construction and industrial sites, we focus on heavy bleeding, crush injuries, and electrical safety.
For healthcare and education settings, the focus shifts to recognizing patient deterioration, managing seizures, and responding to cardiac arrest.
We bring our training on-site to your workshop, office, or facility, ensuring your team practices in the environment where they actually work.
"Compliance is the baseline, but competence is what saves lives on a worksite." - REACHAU
WorkSafe WA Compliance: All courses meet strict national guidelines and state legal requirements for WHS.
On-Site Scenario Training: Customised drills that match your specific workplace hazards and tools.
HLTAID011 and Beyond: Core workplace first aid plus options for Advanced First Aid (HLTAID014) for safety officers.
